If your car has a manual trans you just need the 2bbl intake, carb, throttle cable and brackets and a cable throttle pedal from a V8 or factory AC equipped '63-'66 A-body.

With an automatic you need to add the transmission throttle pressure linkage from a 2bbl car and that includes the lever on the transmission.

Depending where you live, Wrecking yards, online perhaps:

www.summitracing.com
www.pentastarparts.com.au/sunshop
www.ebay.com.au

The Brackets you could probably fabricate yourself with what you can find at your local hardware. Kick Down cables can be cheap to expensive; Lokar is one of the brands you'll find whilst searching.

You can adapt the 1bbl manifold yourself for cheaply (studs, kit to put thread into the manifold, adapter plate, some sort of glue specific for the application).

I suggest you read up on peoples Super Six changes by using the search function. And decide exactly what you want done before doing it.

Also consider changing the exhaust setup at the same time. This will get you the most out of your 2bbl upgrade.

You'll need the manifold, carburetor and transmission throttle pressure linkage from a Super Six which came in '78 and newer F_bodies like the Aspen and Volare, and M and J bodies like Diplomats and LeBarrons.

The cable throttle linkage comes from V8 or factory AC equipped slant six '63-'66 A-bodies.

There are other ways of getting a 2bbl on the car, but they involve fabrication.
